Description

When HNO2 is dissolved in water it partially dissociates according to the equation HNO2 (RIGHT HERE SHOULD BE AN EQUILIBRIUM ARROW WITH THE TOP ARROW FACING TO THE LEFT AND THE BOTTOM ARROW FACING TOWARD THE RIGHT) H- + NO2-. A solution is prepared that contains 7.050 g of HNO2 in 1.000 kg of water. Its freezing point is 20.2929 °C. Calculate the fraction of HNO2 that has dissociated.

Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

concentration of the water = 1000/18 per 1.00705 kg

concentration = 5.556 m/1.00705 = 55.16M

CHANGE IN T = x * Kf * m

20.2929 = x * 1.86C/m * 55.17

x= 0.195

FRACTION OF HNO2 THAT DISSOCIATED =195/1000 = 39/200 

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
